India categorically rejects OIC Contact Group’s remarks on Kashmir

India on Wednesday (September 23, 2026) categorically rejected the references to Kashmir in the Joint Communique of the Contact Group on Jammu and Kashmir of the Organisation for Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

“The OIC has no locus standi to pronounce on matters that are strictly internal to India. The entire Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are integral and inalienable part of India, and no amount of repetition of politically motivated propaganda can change this reality. Repeated endorsement of such motivated narratives only raises serious questions on the credibility of OIC,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in response to the OIC’s statement.
